Also... the current stamp kit designed by Geralyn... Do I want to get it with the promo code? It would be under $24.68 shipped.
Enable me or dissuade me please 😂

Weird about the yellowed stamps... how old? I haven't noticed it on any of mine even though I have quite a few older ones... maybe it has something to do with how you're storing them? They’re sitting in either Avery Elle sleeves or original packaging — in an open container on my shelf. It never gets direct sunlight, though the room does brighten during the day. I don’t think it’s a storage issue? Some of them are only 3-5 years old!

Original packaging in a box away from sunlight. It's not all of the stamp sets but some. I don't get it either. But it's most certainly noticeable. ETA: I am certain the AE Story Stamp 'Me' from a few years ago is among those that have yellowed. I remember because I wanted to use the 'moi' sentiment in it so I looked for the set and noticed the yellowing.

The card set at Callie Danielle's features the same heart stickers from the ABM Happy Mail days! Warehouse leftovers...

pancakes sleepingbooty that's so strange, I have all of the story kit stamps and studio calico stamps going back since before AE had a stamp sub and I don't see any yellowing. Maybe it's because I take them out of the packaging, do they need to breathe? That seems weird. Or maybe humidity in the air in your region? I pulled out the me stamp and it's as good as new (except for the ink stains from using staz-on black). I take my stamps out of the packaging and store them upright so I can flip through them to find the one I want. I have recently been picking up stamp sleeves from SC to put them in, but most of them are not in sleeves yet. pancakes I haven't used the new geralyn stamp yet because I just got it delivered last week, but it seems like a great one! I do not regret picking it up

Or maybe humidity in the air in your region? Erm, no. Definitely no. Mediterranean climate here. Dry and windy. I'm not dreaming: some of the sets have a yellow-ish tint, some don't. I will say this: it's harder to see the yellowing of stamp sets if you've inked up quite a few stamps with black StazOn.

I’ve had a few stamps yellow. I thought it was from using Staz-On and not properly cleaning after (just stamping off). I remember reading on SC boards a hundred years ago that Staz-On could deteriorate stamps if not cleaned off well. I have no idea if that’s actually the case.

I remember reading on SC boards a hundred years ago that Staz-On could deteriorate stamps if not cleaned off well. I have no idea if that’s actually the case. For most colours, StazOn leaves a hue on your stamps beyond the actual ink mark. It could actually damage your stamps if you keep trying to get the StazOn off all the time, hence why I've stopped using the StazOn remover. The yellowing I'm talking about is for stamp sets where I haven't even used a lot of the stamps yet. It's clearly noticeable because these sets have quite a few virgin stamps left and all of them are yellow-ish. I am very sensitive to colour, though. Maybe it's just not showing up as much for some other folks.

Does anyone recognize this Jasmine Jones alpha or this IACB vacation set? I was hoping to write the actual names down. Currently organizing my stamps instead of working 😶 ETA: I found the IACB stamp is from the Paradise Cove documenter kit. ETA 2: The Jasmine Jones alpha is from the Hey Girl scrapbooking kit.

I remember because I wanted to use the 'moi' sentiment in it so I looked for the set and noticed the yellowing. I store my stamps in the same way and I noticed yesterday one of my AE stamps has yellowed quite significantly. I haven't used Staz On in about four years, I prefer Memento Tuxedo, so it can't be down to the ink.

sleepingbooty I tried to reply earlier but it wasn't working sorry... no idea why that's happening, I was completely just trying to guess! I checked a few of my older ones that have stamps I haven't used and they are definitely not yellowed at all... I checked "first" "build" and "numbers." Unfortunately my older SC stamps aren't as organized as the AE ones so I can't really identify one of those for you. honeypea I have had stamps turn a weird color after using red staz on, almost like the ink soaked into the stamp, so I stopped using that ink. The only staz on I use anymore is black and I don't use staz on cleaner, I only use baby wipes to clean my stamps (plus stamping off) and just try to get most of the ink off. The staz on definitely stains them, but I'm okay with that. I use it for 50%+ of my stamping and I've never had a problem with it tainting the colored ink when I use the stamp later. pancakes the IACB one was the documenter kit stamp for Paradise Cove, July 2019. I have never seen that Jasmine Jones alpha, but I like it! I would guess it was an add-on because I don't have it and I don't ever remember the documenter kit having an alpha stamp, and I have most of the documenter kits since 2015 (I skipped about 6 months while the card quality sucked and I have skipped the 2020 kits) but I could be wrong. I do think I would've picked up the kit just for that stamp if it had been one of the few I wasn't subbed for though. Maybe in the TN kit?

So, I swear SC hasn't come out with something I really, really, really want in years But then IACB designed the travel and food stamp set and it's been sneaked a few times this week. My DREAM stamp set. I'm 20 mins late to Reveal because I was working on my lockdown jigsaw puzzle and it's sold out I'm 100% sour grapes on the fact I missed out

Does anyone know when they start putting older kits up for grabs in the past kits section? I liked last month’s stamp sub but didn’t want to sub and am happy to wait for a discount code.

I hope to own that beauty one day! pancakes there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when they add them. Or at least I haven’t noticed there to be a pattern.

dawnnikol THANK YOU!! I have been refreshing the page for the last 10 mins in the hope one might drop out of someones basket but I think I have to accept defeat!!! I would check back on the 5th. With the new box system it's "safe" as soon as someone adds it to their box but they don't actually buy it until the 6th when cards are charged. I think a lot of people add stuff to their box at reveal to "save" it and then might reconsider right before their card is charged. I know I've done that before while I was weighing cost vs. how much I wanted something.

Since I canceled my PL sub (last kit was Dec 2019) I haven't been interested in a kit until this one. If they had it available as an add-on to my other sub (stamp sub) like they used to I would've picked it up, but I'm not going through the hassle of subscribing for it. I can pick up the embellishments as add-ons so I picked up a couple of them, but what i really like are the cards. Honestly I don't need any more... maybe I'll get it if it comes to the regular shop in the future or if they offer a code.

I too love the new Food stamp! I checked out the new stamps when I saw the email (about 20 minutes after release) and refreshed my screen as soon as I saw it and the fact that it was "check back soon" status. Luckily one fell out of someone's cart and I was able to add it to mine right away.
I also plan our vacation activities around local food options!

jennyap Thank you for thinking of me and jumping over to this board to tell me - I was fast asleep but I am going to keep an eye on it between now and the 5th and see if I have any luck. huskermom98 You got lucky! I must have been only 5 mins behind you. Enjoy your stamp!

I DID IT. I kept watching the site like a hawk - I am working from home so I checked it every half an hour to see if it came back in stock and my stalking of the site paid off ONE TRAVEL EATS STAMP WINGING ITS WAY TO ME. I didn't even faff with the adding to the box malarkey because knowing my luck, it would drop out of my box somehow. Definitely worth checking the site occasionally if anyone is keen for one.
